Citizen Bush v. Councilman Polite

Story via AP: (summarized, guy at Lancaster, PA farmer's market has a picture of Bush up at his stand, but a Dem councilman's pissed about it. He asked him to take it down, when he refused, "Polite threatened to try to enact a city ordinance that would ban all political material from public places.")

Even if the guy's being a prick (and it's not so clear that he is, since I'm assuming he's only doing what's good for his business, there that's the Posner in me coming out), banning political speech in public places is kinda frowned upon in this country. I guess not everyone can be as polite as Polite. But of course it has to be the local Democrat who sounds like a whiner. Well as long as we're whining, the day an ordinance is passed banning political speech is the day I'll move to China. They have no qualms about pics in public places. I'm also not opposed to personality cults.
